The UK and Ireland's bid to host Euro 2028 is expected to be approved by UEFA's executive committee next week. 

Here's the stadia across five nations which will host the matches in just under five years' time.

REPUBLIC OF IRELAND

Aviva Stadium: The Dublin venue, which holds over 51,000 people, regularly hosts Republic of Ireland football matches and those of the Ireland rugby team. The stadium had been part of the original multi-country plans to host Euro 2020 but could not ultimately provide UEFA with the necessary assurances over minimum spectator levels amid the Covid-19 pandemic.

NORTHERN IRELAND

Casement Park: Construction on the site in the Andersonstown area of Belfast is due to get underway next year with completion by 2026. The capacity of the stadium is set to be 34,500.

ENGLAND

Etihad Stadium: Work is set to begin later this year on increasing the capacity of treble-winning Manchester City's ground to almost 62,000 by 2025.

Everton Stadium: The Toffees' new home at Bramley-Moore Dock is scheduled for completion late next year. Developers are working to a capacity of 52,888.

St James' Park: St James' Park also hosted matches at Euro 96. Newcastle are considering options to develop the stadium which might mean the capacity has increased by the time the championships begin in 2028.

Villa Park: Villa Park hosted three World Cup matches in 1966 and four matches during Euro 96. A go-to ground for FA Cup semi-finals - hosting 55 - the stadium is set to be redeveloped to increase capacity to over 50,000 ahead of the tournament.

Tottenham Hotspur Stadium: Spurs' home is the largest club stadium in London, with a capacity of over 62,000. Opened in April 2019, the stadium includes a retractable pitch with a synthetic NFL surface underneath.

Wembley: England's national stadium is widely expected to host the final, having also been the venue for the Euro 96 finale and the decisive England v Italy clash at Euro 2020. The Football Association will be working hard with the authorities to ensure there is no repeat of the chaotic scenes which surrounded that match. Wembley is celebrating its centenary this year, with the original stadium opening in 1923 for the British Empire Exhibition.

SCOTLAND

Hampden Park: Scotland's national stadium did host matches at Euro 2020. The Scottish Football Association has also bid to stage the Champions League final in 2026 or 2027 at the stadium, which currently holds just over 50,000. However, developers have put forward proposals to upgrade the stadium and increase capacity to 65,000.

WALES

Principality Stadium: The Cardiff venue has hosted major European football events before, having staged the 2017 Champions League final. Set to be the second-largest venue in the tournament with a capacity of 74,500.
